WWE have been under huge scrutiny during 2014, producing underwhelming shows, displaying blatant atrocious booking, and "burying" younger talents. Vince McMahon and his team must improve, here's how.

WWE have been under huge scrutiny during 2014, producing underwhelming shows, displaying blatant atrocious booking, and "burying" younger talents. Vince McMahon and his team must improve, here's how...

More star power is needed

Despite the return of one man who is absolutely loaded with star power, The Rock, WWE still need to recruit more superstars who are high caliber main eventers and have mixed with elite wrestlers over the years. Rock undoubtedly has that all stored in his back pocket, but the WWE Universe are still unsure regarding the state of The Great One - will he stay with the company or was his appearance just a one off?
Hopefully he is sticking around for longer, because this man is needed. The company has new and upcoming stars such as Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Dolph Ziggler, Cesaro and Bray Wyatt, but they haven't fully developed that pure star power that veterans have. Bringing back Batista would improve the product, as would the services of the legendary Stone Cold Steve Austin who confirmed he is training for a comeback.

Push younger talents and use them to their full potential

Now, this is one of the biggest reasons WWE are not satisfying their fans with the current product. Young, upcoming talents such as Cesaro and Bray Wyatt are both currently down in the dumps, stuck in neutral not doing anything. Most people, including me get extremely frustrated with this, and there's absolutely nothing wrong or bad about that at all. Back in April, nearly everyone thought that Cesaro, Wyatt would've been receiving main event pushes at this time now, but it has completely stalled. The company is dumb, why push guys like Kane who have already had the honor of holding the WWE Championship, main eventing numerous PPV's and basically done it all?
While I respect Kane for what he has done for the business and his incredible commitment, Vince needs to wake up, and replace him with young stars. Wyatt could be in a tremendous main event feud now, being used to his full potential. His mic skills are absolutely phenomenal and he can certainly go in the ring, as proven before. It's just a shame himself and Cesaro have fallen down the pack after showing huge promise earlier this year. We can only hope that the company open their eyes and push them.

More storyline progression, match hype is needed

WWE have majorly fallen downhill regarding this factor, Not enough care and storyline progression is happening on their trademark shows like RAW and Smackdown. You sometimes have the odd five minute segment on Monday between the midcard feuders but that's not enough. While guys like Ambrose, Cena, Rollins are enjoying plenty of TV time to build their fascinating story, people like Ziggler, Sheamus, Cesaro, Miz aren't. You should be feeding the midcard talent with lots of time and opportunity to hype their matches. United States Champion Sheamus has fallen since winning the title several months ago - because there isn't any feuds or time to display his full talent and produce epic storylines. The Celtic Warrior probably hasn't had a solid feud since last year which is a massive shame.
However, this is more about progression. What really bugs me and a lot of other fans is the lack of big segments to hype matches even more. Remember the epic Lesnar vs. Triple H feud a few years back? Perfect example, the company really hit the jackpot regarding the 'big fight feel' caliber to that - something that REALLY is lacking today. It's something that needs to be worked on, because in that feud there was at least a huge moment every week during the build up. Brock attacked Shawn Michaels, trashed Triple H's office, along with Heyman's epic insults. WWE progressed and hyped that match brilliantly. I hope we see the amount of effort put into a feud like that happen again.
